Hi, I am Francis,
the host of this show "Cooking with Dog."
First, let’s season the chicken drumsticks.
Sprinkle on the salt,
pepper
and curry powder.
Flip the chicken over
and then sprinkle on the salt,
pepper
and curry powder again.
Toss to coat evenly.
Next, let’s grate the onions using a food processor.
Cut the onions in half and then into rough pieces.
Put the pieces into the bowl
and cover with a lid.
Pulse several times and then turn on the processor.
And now the onion is grated.
Let’s saute the chicken.
Add the olive oil to a pot and turn on the burner.
Dust the chicken pieces with flour,
flip them over
and dust again.
Toss to coat evenly.
Now, line up the chicken in the heated pot.
Lightly brown the surface and flip them over.
The curry powder easily burns so keep your eyes on it.
Remove the chicken and set aside.
Next, add a little more olive oil to the pot
and drop in the grated onion.
Stir the onion on high heat
and reduce the liquid.
Continue scraping the scorched onion off the bottom and sides
and brown the onion on high heat for about 30 minutes.
When it comes to the end, reduce the heat to low
and carefully caramelize the onion.
Now, add the cumin seeds,
grated ginger
and garlic.
Stir the mixture and allow the aroma to grow stronger.
Then, add the curry powder
and saute for 2 to 3 minutes until aromatic.
Now, add the canned tomato
and continue sauteing the mixture.
Add the water
and crumble in the chicken bouillon cube.
Next, add the yogurt
and distribute it evenly.
Place the chicken into the pot.
Bring it to a boil on high heat
and remove the foam.
Cover
and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes on low heat.
This will allow the bone marrow to melt into a savory broth.
Occasionally stir the bottom of the pot to keep it from burning.
Finally, add the salt,
pepper,
curry powder, garam masala spices,
and the fruit jam,
and distribute evenly.
Cover
and simmer for 2 to 3 more minutes.
Turn off the burner
and now the curry is ready to serve.
Place the steamed zakkoku-mai,
rice with mixed grains and seeds onto a plate.
Ladle the chicken curry next to the rice.
And now, the chicken curry is ready.
Sauteing the onion for 30 minutes is quite a bit of work
but your effort will be rewarded by the delicious chicken curry.
Add the powdered spices again in the final stage
since they easily lose the aroma when cooked thoroughly.
When rushed, you may use
ready to cook fried onion paste to save time.
Good luck in the kitchen!
